memoirs on a rainy day

Saxon is the first officially evicted HM, with a proper eviction night. He is the holder of the second HM handgrenade and his target is Brigitte.

The HM in the danger zone are Alice, Ben, Dixie, Nate and Renee. They are today’s bottom five.

The house is recovering from their first eviction. Saxon is gone, but he has a parting shot for his least favorite HM. Saxon tells Brigitte that she needs to read more books. Everything isn’t just about her. He isn’t happy the way that Bianca made him look in the house. She talked behind his back. He tells Dixie to stop stealing food. He tells Terri to stick it out, even though people are giving her a hard time. He has good things to say about Travis, the Nobster and Rory.

This season of Survivor has finally wrapped up. As always, Survivor is very entertaining. I thought that when the boys got voted out that it would get less entertaining, but it didn’t.

The big surprise was that it was only a final two, not a final three. After the survivors were down to only three, it was predictable who would be in the final two.

Instead of focusing on her accomplishments of the last few months, Amanda focused on being nice. She needed to assert herself more and tell the jury what she had done in order to win. She didn’t.

By far the biggest moves in this season were the blindsides. Ozzy, Jason, Alexis, Erik and even some of the earlier ones got blindsided. The fans should have known that something like that would happen. Just like Cirie said, the fans were younger and less experienced. They wouldn’t have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of more experienced players.

This was a good season of Survivor. It’s been touted as one of the best ever. I still think that Survivor All Stars was the best season of Survivor.

The HM are all in the eviction room. It’s time for the first eviction.

Jackie and Kyle think that Corey is fitting in very nicely. It’s good to see the real Corey.

They go live to the eviction room. It’s obvious that Corey and Bianca have a love/hate relationship. Bianca says that it’s more hate. The Nobster says that he’s forgiven Terri.

The official bottom three are David, Rebecca and Saxon. Terri, Nathan and Corey are immune from eviction this week. BB says that one of the nominees is about to be thrown a lifeline.

After FNL, the strategy opens for Travis and Renee. In this room, HM can openly discuss nominations and tactics. They also receive some pizza. The HM don’t know this initially, but what happens in the strategy room is broadcasted to the rest of the BBAU house. However, this transmission doesn’t have any sound.

Travis is called to the diary room. He is told who the bottom 3 HM are. They are Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon. He can discuss this with Renee, but only Renee.

The HM in the danger zone tonight are Alice, David, Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon. My guess is that Alice, Saxon and David will get nominated.

The Nobster gets woken up at 7:44AM. They have to clean up the back yard once again. There is no confetti this time, so it will be easier. As the HM say this, confetti explodes over the back yard. It’s funny. It will take the HM a long time to clean this up.

The girls that are left in Survivor definitely have the upper hand. As much as Erik is the Survivor über-geek, he isn’t a match for that much manipulations.

The girls just want to get rid of Erik. If he wins immunity, they will have to get rid of one of their own. The only reason that Erik has stayed in the game, is because he’s won immunity many times in a row.

This was actually a great episode. I’m surprised how easily the girls were able to dupe Erik. Having been a fan for so long must have schooled him in the art of the blindside. That’s what you’d guess, but he didn’t see it coming, especially when all of the girls were working together just to get rid of him.

Naturally, Erik wins immunity. This puts all of the girls in disarray. They know that one of their own will leave. They decide to get rid of Nat. Amanda and Cirie suggest that she tries to manipulate Erik into giving her his immunity necklace. The way things are going for him, he will never get enough votes in the finals. At least, that’s what they are trying to convince him of.

Erik is naive and easily manipulated. Their plan works easily since Cirie and others are working toward that goal as well. The jury is flummoxed when Erik gives up his immunity. The girls were also surprised that their plan worked out. Erik is the dumbest Survivor in the history of the game. That’s what Parv says to the camera.

David, Dixie, Rebecca, Renee and Saxon are in the danger zone. They run a chance of being nominated.

After yesterday’s sunrise snap eviction, the HM are back in bed. Dixie is sighing heavily in bed. The HM are complaining. She moans. They wake her up to shut her up. The only one who stayed up is Terri who is busy tidying up.

Travis’ voice is going up and down. He speaks lower from time to time. Maybe it’s an act. It’s not the first time that he has gone down a few notches on his high voice.

Renee goes to see BB. She’s freaking out because of what she learned about the eviction process. She might act like a tomboy, but once she gets cleaned up, she must be a knock-out.

Alice, David, Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon are in danger of being nominated tonight.

It’s a little past seven AM and the HM have to clean up the yard once again. They’ve got one hour. The confetti is a big problem. The cleaning up is hard.

The Nobster is in trouble again. He stepped over the threshold of the house last night. He has to wash all of the windows as punishment.

Barney and Mike are talking about Renee’s non-feminine wiles.

When Travis tells the Nobster that they have clean the yard everyday this week, he tries to flip the mop at Travis to splash him, but the top almost flies at him.

Ben, David, Rebecca, Renee and Saxon are the bottom five. Who will be nominated?

Several HM have gone back to sleep after the cleaning task. Someone is snoring and it’s Dixie. She complained about David’s snoring. She wakes up and says that she wasn’t snoring.

Party boy Corey has decided to stay up and help to bake the bread.

Rene says that she’s going to Canada in January.

The HM in danger of being nominated are Saxon, Bianca, Alice, David and Rebecca. However, this is only after a day of voting.

Corey is unexpectantly keen to get away from the noise. He explores the house.

The Nobster isn’t happy with Terri. At least he’s stopped swearing. He’s talking with Terri. Dixie, Terri and Bianca are talking about the Nobster’s attitude. Terri thinks that he looks scared.
